Recently, riots broke out in southern Kyrgyzstan, and more than 40 planned to go to Kyrgyzstan to participate in economic and trade negotiations.

Xiong Yi, Secretary General of the Sichuan import and Export Chamber of Commerce, said yesterday that in the recent years, enterprises in Sichuan have gradually turned their eyes to the broad Central Asian market, including Kyrgyzstan, in the wake of the financial crisis. The demand in Kyrgyzstan and other countries is quite in line with Sichuan's product mix. Sichuan's dominant industries such as light industry, textiles and manufacturing are huge in Kyrgyzstan.

But for now, the trade with Kyrgyzstan is very small in the total volume of foreign trade in our province. At this stage, it has little impact on the export of our province.

Little impact

At present, footwear products occupy a considerable proportion in Kyrgyzstan's exports to our province.

Data show that last year 1-11 months, Sichuan shoes exported to Kyrgyzstan, a total of 16 million pairs, a sharp increase of 199 times, accounting for 23.3% of the total exports of Sichuan shoes.

Li Ying, Secretary General of Sichuan footwear import and Export Chamber of Commerce, said Kyrgyzstan's riots had little impact on Sichuan's footwear industry.

"Chuan shoe exported to Kyrgyzstan last year is not bad, but this year, due to frequent local riots, Sichuan shoe companies which exported to Kyrgyzstan have gradually withdrawn from the local market after the first quarter."

Li Ying said frankly that the export volume of Sichuan shoes to Kyrgyzstan has changed significantly since the beginning of this year. "Sichuan shoes sold in Kyrgyzstan are sold in Kyrgyzstan, mainly through indirect sales by some foreign trade companies, and the quantity is also limited. Therefore, riots have little impact on personnel or sales volume."

The head of the foreign trade department said that Kyrgyzstan's trade volume has been very small and its export products are concentrated on shoes and hats.

Data show that last year, our province's exports to Kyrgyzstan amounted to US $599 million 460 thousand, accounting for 4.2% of the total export share of the province, and this share continued to decline this year.

In April this year, our province's exports to Kyrgyzstan amounted to US $20 million 150 thousand, and in May it dropped to US $8 million 410 thousand, which accounted for 2.2% of our province's foreign trade from 1.8% in April.
